• Biotechnology Aptitude and Competency Exam (BACE)

Work-Based Learning opportunities may include:

• Internship - gain experience by interning with a research laboratory (university, pharmaceutical, biotechnology company, public health)

• Job Shadow - spend a day or more observing professionals such as a doctor, nurse, PA, clinical laboratory assistant, physical or occupational therapist, or veterinary clinic assistant 

• Industry Project - assist a medical device/biomedical engineering company with product development or quality assurance control

• Competitions - while not direct work experiences, participating in HOSA competitions can involve development of practical skills and simulated real-world scenarios; consider conducting biomedical-focused research and competing in science fairs 

• Field Trips and Guest Speakers - gain understanding of a variety of career paths and insight into the industry from professionals

While most of these course opportunities don't apply to Program of Study completion, some may. Students are advised to consider them to strengthen preparation.
